Power Distribution Board (PDB) DRAFT 

Code No. MD04001-00-1307 

 

 

Soldering the components 

Don’t get scared just because they are SMD, they are relatively easy to solder thanks to their size. Please check these videos, it will give 
you an idea of how to do it:

Cut the ESCs cables 
as follows: power 
cables to 16 mm 
from ESC board edge; 
motor cables to 18 
mm from ESC board 
edge. Solder the 
ESC’s motor cables as 
shown in the picture. 
Then turn it back, 
bent the power 
cables 180 degrees 
and solder those in 
the PDB. Add the 
battery cables.
